Tuesday, 16th July 2024


4.78 Miles. An early morning ride, around Boldon. Only one 1947 pensioner, on folding e-bike. The remaining vintage 1947 pensioner is out of action, with a broken wrist. A poor year of cycling this year, a combination of lack of motivation and appalling weather, cold, and, raining almost every day. Today, dull and cloudy, with a severe rain warning for later today.

7.48 miles. Boldon Colliery - Jarrow and return. Only one vintage 1947 pensioner. Pleasant morning, are we due for another day of summer?

6.8 miles. Boldon Colliery - Nissan - Boldon Colliery. One vintage 1947 pensioner, riding Carerra Cross City e-bike. Cloudy but warm. Garmin did not save activity, so, plotted map manually, via run keeper. Despite the 6.27 from Runkeeper, it was 6.8miles, on the Garmin!

Tuesday 19th March 2024   A tentative return to Cycling and Walking, after a lay-off of several months, due to an Achilles Tendon problem. Diagnosed as "thickening of Achilles Tendon", and told, "this is an over use injury, rest and recuperation is the solution". 6.02 miles. Boldon Colliery and West Boldon. One vintage 1947 pensioner riding Carrera Cross City e-bike (just acquired, not even made the first payment to Klarna yet), the other vintage 1947 pensioner walking (briskly). No ill effects. No video.  Friday 22nd March 2024 4.49 miles. Boldon Colliery and West Boldon. Only one vintage 1947 pensioner today, so, going a little faster, but, nothing too ambitious. Dry and sunny, 12c, but, very windy.

  Sunday, 8th November 2020 15.20 miles. Boldon Colliery - Jarrow - Gateshead - Boldon Colliery.   Dull, damp, and, eventually, raining. An outing (solo) to collect "E" (St Edmunds) in my Cyclechat ABC Saints Names Challenge.   Rather disappointing that I could not also get the "G" (Gateshead) for the Cyclechat ABC Towns and Villages , there does not appear to be a place name board for Gateshead, perhaps, no-one wants to know when they enter there? Monday, 9th November 2020 15.84 miles. Boldon Colliery - Sunderland - Whitburn - Boldon Colliery. Dull and damp, but, mild at 11C. Thursday, 12th November 2020 25.52 miles. Boldon Colliery - Jarrow - Hebburn - Pelaw - Gateshead - Newcastle-upon-Tyne - North Shields - South Shields - Boldon Colliery.    Sunny, and mild 13C, but, windy. A bumper day for the Cyclechat Saints Names Challenge , "F", "G", and "H", and a "G" for Cyclechat ABC Towns and Villages.
